Hi Camille, Thanks for the article. I tried to find the heart that you mentioned to make a donation, but I simply just cant find it.
Would you advice again how I can make this Father's day Loan to Eladio, please? Thanks.

Happy Father's Day Dad! A loan to Domingo in Nicaragua was made in your honor. Like you, Domingo is a hard-working man and a good husband and father. Also like you, he sells medicine. This loan will help him build a bathroom for the family home.
